Hundreds of farmers across France have blocked major highways and streets with their tractors in protest against low prices, high taxes and E.U. environmental regulations. NBC News’ Josh Lederman reports that farming unions have also threatened to block all major roads into Paris and drive their tractors to the presidential palace.

Okay, to be brutally honest, I didn’t expect the farmers to use tractors to protest and block roads in many ways possible.
Usually I’ve seen videos where it’s just people holding hands and blocking roads with just their vehicles, but this one really surprised me.
And it gets to the point where only a lot of officers arrive on the scene, but this involving *15,000* officers and burning an ENTIRE truck??? Yikes.
Best respect the farmers, or else something like this would happen.
They are fighting the World Economic Form and their global agenda to strip the world of any rights and freedoms while gaining absolute control and reducing the world population by billions. Will your family be one of the billions they get rid of?
Y’all make fun of the people who tossed soup at the glass over the mona lisa when they were protesting over the same thing but cheer when the farmers burn a bunch of peppers in the same protest. knew there was something more to the mona lisa story, and I’ll still stand beside all of them
Vive le resistance
Wrong to waste food
Stay strong French Farmers we support you from the United States❤
Keep voting for socialists until you get 100% tax and then you become 100% slave…
The G7 leaders have to stop working for the WEF and start working for their citizens.
We the people of this planet are tired of the governments shenanigans.
To all protesting the worldwide tyrannical behavior by our collective governments, I thank you ✌️💕🇺🇸
I stand with the farmers! Here in Canada you are thrown in prison and have your bank accounts frozen if you disobey our current regime! Don’t let your country get to this stage or you’ll lose it!
Disobey how?
This is what happens when extinctionists and neoliberals green satanic ideologies mix and create self inflicted chaos and destruction of its own country.
Ohhhh…did Macron phone Truduh in Canada for instructions on how to be a dictator?
We should not allow their stuff into the us at all 😊
😒Since Bill Gates is the largest holder of Farmland in the world I wonder if he supports this.
All about this “Green New Deal” is this worldwide takeover Chinas doing? We still haven’t solved that question. Is it WEF ?
So you need the farmers come Olympic time but not before and probably not after
Catholic Macron corporate GREED.
All those tractors made in France.
It’s climate policies and taxes. Pushed by EU and WEF.
💯 SUPPORT FARMERS!!! ❤ 🇨🇦
When he said the Olympics in short amount of time and this can’t go on much longer now that was a threat
Go for it. On a side note, nobody should take this lightly or think the French farmers are just making noise. Guess how much it costs to fuel and operate those tractors? No, the highway mileage is not impressive. I moved to a remote Montana 1883 farm and while I’m just getting going, if the established farms and ranches go down, we can’t grow chocolate but already produce more than we can sell or give away to Food Banks. And 2,000 head of Angus just in this valley will keep us in burgers and steaks while most people dependent on the supply system fight for scraps. Every citizen with sense needs to support them.
vive la resistance
full support for all farmers world wide.. don’t let a government(s) working with unelected people like the EU and WEF control the food production.
they will take over and control all countries, with their bug farms food, and modified plants, that will not give fruits or seeds so you can multiply them.
what are they planning with getting rid of all EU Farms…
Follow their money and company’s…
watch Them investing in India and Afrika…..
Anything the government touches turn to crap
Will the government freeze their bank accounts? Seemed to work for Trudeau😅
💯🎯❤️🚜🚜🚜🚜
We are seeing this all over Europe – Governments deliberately attacking the livelihood of the people that feed the nation. At a time when the cost of living is already crazy high. The term “engineered famine” is becoming increasingly real. The powers that be are completely against the people they are meant to serve 😣
Happened in Holland last year. Now in both France and Germany. Most goverments have been ” penetraded ” by the WEF, Ursula von der leyen is a WEF agenda contributor. Look no further than to Canada to know, what is planned out!
Still baffled me that rich country could suffer poor nation’s trouble
On se bat justement pour arrêter cet appauvrissement et continuer à vivre décemment.
Pukul aja Pemerintahannya. Gak Becus.
i dont the farmers worries too much about food shortage to their families
Government IS THE PROBLEM. I don’t believe the “Ukraine” cheap food excuse, there is an underlying agenda, we have learned there always is.
We must finally ratify, after 5 years of delay, the free trade agreement between the customs union of the European Union – MERCOSUR -CELAC, this is an agreement of last chance, with the countries of Latin America we must conclude a geopolitical alliance against authoritarian countries The European Union and the Mercosur countries in Latin America share the same democratic values. The electrification of transport and the construction of offshore wind turbines and photovoltaic panels will not be possible without deposits of lithium, rare earth metals, iron and copper available in Mercosur Latin American countries, thanks to which Europe can become independent from oil and gas supplies from Russia in Latin American Mercosur countries – CELAC shale oil and gas deposits are available
God bless the farmers 🙏
My car sympathised😊 now in farmer
EU energy sanctions lead to disaster
French farmer 800 Euros par mounth, Ursula Vander Leyen 30 000 Euros per mounth
Maybe they can get help from world food program
Looks similar to the farmers’ protest in Delhi India with only difference that Indian government mercilessly killed hundreds of farmers with bullets and cane charging. Is it just a co-incident that French president just visited India and spent too much time with Indian PM Modi the murderer?
Attal is wasting our time
❤
If you’ve upset the farmers you have really messed up support your local farmers you need them .
Right on, Farmers!! Idiots running Government across the Globe.
Yo, again with the French people showcasing a masterclass in protesting lol
You know, I would feel more for the Farmers, but if you’re gonna destroy produce- ATLEAST hand them out to people.
fresh government destroyed everything.. hanger on way they created it and most european union against the farmers… they gv just killed thousands of cows in German because of climate change 😂
that’s why br wanted ukraine …… interesting!!!…
Not surprised. France has a history of “le coup d’État”. French politicians might need to dust off their history books again
… while Macron fiddles in Sweden.
wow nbc reporting news for once
They need Trump!
I won’t be surprised the Olympics in France will be a mess
Finally on mainstream media
God bless these farmers.
Stand with the Farmers!
We support Farmers
why so money matters Industrialist companies worldwide they burdened prices into the world citizens ,a dillemma of buying of basics esp. foods and technology is too high as to these smll franchises and agriculture which same paying tax in return getting not enough from its visible capital , while bigger franchise of industry companies seats in higher profile is within same system of paying tax while they double cross their goods or products an and services to be compromised by people to get these into very high price actually! historically- isn’t it industry buy their company to operate and gain income by paying tax given by government system. the government operate these taxes where be used in support of generate more employment of citizens working as should be seen a general goal between two operations of government and industry , so people can afford these prices inputs which can be set as sytematized fair.
Kalau penanam padi malaysia buat mogok kan bagus, untuk naikkan harga padi😂
LOVE TO ALL FARMERS
But the police ARE the farmers
Надо на Украины помогать
😂😂😂 that’s funny !!
the chinese and russian bots are showing results. chaos
Keep the fight going this new world order is trying to drive all farmers out so they can monopolize our food supply
No more french fries in France. Lol 😂
Atleast they have a spine unlike the american cowards
These globalist and corporations are going too far
It’s a fake war so to have this land grab
Part of the globalist agenda you destroy the family farm and the family unit.
I’ve never been a huge fan of the French (mainly because of their cars) but they know what they’re doing when it comes to rioting
I don’t understand at all ? Why are they protesting when they are enjoying super cheap cereal from Ukraine ?
As a person in Sri Lanka, currently facing an economic crisis, I know how these farmers feel because the same thing is happening right now in Sri Lanka… well , not the same but kinda alike… our farmers don’t get enough funds for farming rice and the little amount of rice produce is not bought by the government, making the rice farmers a subject to NO FREAKING PROFIT!!!! What will happen next? The same thing that is happening right now in France because the rice will be sold to private companies which will not be paying a high price to the farmers, putting them in a very difficult position…. there you go! A statistics report on the economy of Sri Lanka!!
We stand with the farmers 💯
Trust a member of the scum media saying it’s a step too far.
Those scum are just jackals of themedia.
I got a tra ctor got to go
“No farmers no food jo future” is correct. What these farmers arent considering is that the powers that be dont want us to have plentiful food when a tight supply means that food can be traded for obedience.
Who controls the food controls the masses… Bill Gates (the largest farmland owner in the USA)👁️
Who controls the food controls the masses… Bill Gates (largest single farmland owner in the USA.)
who is paying these farmers to be off their farms. It looks like the MAGA trucker scam run in the US for trump – by putin, exported by MAGA – read it putin – to Canada, then to Poland and now to France. Same playbook. Follow the money. Marine lePen IS the putin candidate stood up by putin to gut democracy in France.
Interesting. Cambridge council (UK) do exactly like these farmers by blocking roads into Cambridge. NBC needs to investigate this.
All UK farmers should protest too.
No farmers. No food. Simple. The unelected elite are definitely trying to destroy the farmers along with decent citizens.
Russia:
You fu… id….s 😅
We can do without politicians but cannot do without farmers
The police need to put these farmers in their place! Stop the protests and get back to work! Low life farmers at it again!
Great for the french farmers,do we get our point across??Where is Marcon??Figures that coward probably left the country…..
They literally destroy a country with every protest. If they keep protesting like this, country will collapse.
When a country population reaches certain average age, economy starts to decrease because majority of working population supports retired people. In France, ~60% population doesn’t work ( too young, retired, unemployed, unable to work,etc).
In a such situation, you can change your government 1000 times, nothing will change. People need to have more kids, so working population is 55+ %.
Starts with a protest, ends with a famine
😎👉👉
Better be careful. Christina Lagard and Klaus Scwab will shut your money off.
Protect the farmers, send the elite politicians packing!
Money is taken from farmers and given to corrupt Ukraine
Covid vaccine heart attack time switch, when’s your time?
I ask Normaund farmers to stand down as Montaigu-les-Bois ♦️♦️♦️ and a member of the Royal House of the Normaundie, I ask for peaceful protest
We stand with these farmers. The migrant bs and eu green deal bs they have to deal with is insane.
Europe is going crazy with all these farmers protests. How many countries are protesting now, 6 or 7?
No Farmers No Food
It would be nice if you gave the context that the insane attack on farmers is going on all over Europe. These attacks on farming are being driven by the WEF EU pawns in order to remove the autonomy of these countries and make them dependent on the third world for food and make the farming land available for illegal migrant housing even if they say it is because of NOx. It is just another example of social engineering by people who left their humanity behind in order to play god over the rest of us.
Explain “farm near Normandy” lol
THE ONLY WAY OUT
RETURN OF THE MONARCHY
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN ANN
🦁🧿🇫🇷💜☂️💜🇫🇷🦁🧿
Farmers going out of business is not just a threat to the farmers – it’s a threat to the nation. Nations that cannot feed themselves internally, will need to import food from outside… and those external supplies will not always be there -> people will starve. While I’m against government subsidies in general, using garaunteeing a local supply,along with tools like legislation requiring, for example that n% of farmland grow food crops, and even modest subsidies, is I think, essential. without food, you starve. When you starve, you die. The nation that starves s a whole? Will bow to the dictator with the food.
Isn’t Russia a net exporter of Ukrainian grain?
